North Dakota Governor Switches From Sedan to E-85 SUV

February 28, 2006

BISMARCK, ND – North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven has traded a sedan for an SUV, according to the Web site www.kxma.com. Hoeven’s official car is now a black 2006 GMC Yukon. For the past three years, he’s driven a Buick Park Avenue. Both vehicles are leased.
Hoeven says he wanted the Yukon because it’s a flex-fuel vehicle and can burn gas or E-85 fuel, a mix of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline.

Fleet management professionals who have completed NAFA's Certified Automotive Fleet Manager (CAFM) program typically earn about a 27% higher salary than those who didn't attain the certification, according to a Monster.com survey.

Sergio Marchionne, who restored Fiat Chrysler to financial health after its 2009 bankruptcy, has died after he was forced to leave his post as chief executive last week due to medical complications from a surgery. He was 66.
